GI can't remember what is wrong
CI've been happy now for way too long
And AmoooooBmooooooh, Emwe got a Bmlot more to EmgoD

GI know it hurt you, 'cause you cried
CI know it killed you, but nobody died
And AmoooooooBmoooooh, the Emcity ain't Bmnothin but EmshowD  
GI found a needle in the hay
CI found the sunshine at the end of the day
